Perspective: Jem


Today my aunt Alexandra came to visit. She told us the reason she came to Maycomb was because ahe thought that Scout and I needed a femenine influence but I don't think so. When she came the whole town was trying to talk with her. Basically she was the center of atterntion in Maycomb. She always kept going on about how the finchs are a good family and always do good. Later on Scout asked Atticus what rape was and he gave her a very detailed and leagal definition of the word. And she didn't understand. Then they start talking about how the trip to Cal's church was. Then Alexandra made a big fuss because we had went to Cal' church. So then she told Atticus that he should get rid of her. But then Atticus refuses and says she part of the family. Later on that night Scout and I got sent to bed because we got into a fight. After that Scout saw something under her bed and it was Dill. he had run away from his parents because they weren't giving him enough attention.
